Indigo Girls - I can now die happy

By BBoyd • Jun 11th, 2008 • Category: Blog, Personal

Ok, so I splurged this morning when I saw that the Indigo Girls were playing at Stubbs tonight, and bought a ticket for myself and one for Chelsea. She’s not up yet but hopefully she will want to go. I don’t care, if not, I’ll ask a friend.
OMG I am SOOOOO fangirling. I have been [...]



Chelseas’ Pictures from FIRST Robotics Competition, pt. 1

By CBoyd • May 26th, 2008 • Category: Chelsea

(note from mom…I put all the pics in a gallery for Chelsea but she still needs to get on here and change all the captions. So for now there are both.

.gallery {
margin: auto;
}
.gallery-item {
float: left;
margin-top: 10px;
text-align: center;
width: 33%; }
.gallery img {
border: 2px solid #cfcfcf;
}
.gallery-caption {
margin-left: 0;
}

This was a wall that had all of the patens made [...]



Snicker…snarky Zen

By BBoyd • Apr 21st, 2008 • Category: Blog, Silly

Thank heavens for silly cousins who ignore my warnings to not forward me crap. I never post this kind of stuff, but it made me laugh, and I don’t LOL much, for reals. This one nearly made me PMP (pee my pants).

Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk [...]

Chelsea emailed me this link last night…

LBJ (aka The Purple Haze, aka Team 418) is on the Curie field.



LASA Robotics Team Heads to First

By BBoyd • Apr 15th, 2008 • Category: Chelsea, Featured

Everybody over 20 should envy the LASA Robotics team, who are headed to the First competition after school today. I’m not sure they realize how cool that is, or what an opportunity it is for them as individuals, or how much they will cherish the memories of such trips in the future. Without the hindsight [...]



Please… just grant me this little break…

By BBoyd • Apr 14th, 2008 • Category: Blog, Featured

Please, just kill me now. Because I am never ever going to catch up. There are some days that I think to myself :
“Self… You cannot possibly put one more thing to learn on that to do list.”
And then I catch some iffy behavior from visitors poking at wp-admin files on various installations. Mainly, those [...]



Post 55 - My WP2.5 Preview Trackback

By BBoyd • Apr 4th, 2008 • Category: Blog, WordPress

Just an FYI for the trackbackers.
I’d made a grumpy post last week about how disturbing it was to me that the WP team didn’t meet the publicized release date for 2.5. And, it was; mainly because the WP dev community is so reliable about those kinds of things. But also because I was having [...]



Googling Me?

By BBoyd • Apr 1st, 2008 • Category: Featured, Personal

I know better than to check my stats daily..I get sucked into all that data. But lately, I’ve not been able to keep myself from it because of all the googling of my name. It didn’t REALLY bug me until I saw a hit from a yahoo search on the term “brandi boyd dead”. Yikes. [...]



Pilot Car Company Sites, Custom Packages, and Specialization

By BBoyd • Apr 1st, 2008 • Category: Projects, Web Design & Development

Thanks to my dad’s hearty promotions of my work on his business site, AllAmericanPilotCarServices, I’ve had quite a bit of interest in my work from other pilot car companies. I’ve enjoyed working with Call4PilotCars.com, and I am doing some work, currently in progress, for some others. But I don’t want to divulge names until the [...]



Custom Name Servers

By BBoyd • Apr 1st, 2008 • Category: Blog, Web Design & Development

I don’t know what took me so long to do this, but I finally got down to registering custom nameservers for my hosting services today.
No one should notice anything different, the switch went off seamlessly already. But if you’re a client, or a whois freak like me, you’ll see that my (and my clients’) [...]
